Therapeutic Riding (TR): A specially trained (certified) instructor teaches horsemanship and riding skills to participants with cognitive, physical, and/or mental health needs or disabilities. The primary goal is to improve horsemanship skills, with secondary therapeutic goals of gaining strength, improving balance and coordination, gross and fine motor skills, self-confidence, and more. Participant ages range from four years through adult.
Therapeutic Carriage Driving (TCD): Students with physical, mental, or emotional disabilities learn to drive a horse or pony in a cart or carriage. Interacting with an equine via carriage driving provides an alternative to riding for participants who may be unable to ride due to weight, balance, physical limitations, fear of heights, or other issues. In addition to learning driving skills, participants gain entry to the world of horses and the rewards of interacting with a horse or pony. Participants’ ages range from 12 years old through adult.
